Emily Blunt 'thought acting was silly'

Emily Blunt has admitted that she used to think acting was "silly".

The Young Victoria star explained that she had changed her mind because of comments made by a fan.

According to Showbiz Spy, she said: "A movie can change your life. I used to be very British about it all - 'This is a lot of silliness, I should be doing something worthwhile'.

"Then this woman came up to me and said, 'I have to tell you, I had the worst day. My husband divorced me, my kid got expelled from school. Then I watched The Devil Wears Prada and I laughed my ass off!'

"And I thought how marvellous it was that a simple comedy could have that effect on someone."

Blunt recently admitted that she finds it difficult to work with some of her co-stars.
